On July 11, 2025, former President Donald Trump, now a leading figure in the U.S. political landscape once again, introduced a bold and controversial set of tariff policies. These measures are a continuation of his protectionist stance that shaped much of global trade during his previous administration. With new tariffs targeting key trade partners like Canada, the European Union, and Brazil, the economic ripple effects are expected to be significant—if not immediate. ** The Tariff Breakdown Canada – 35% Tariff Effective August 1 Trump has raised tariffs on Canadian imports from 25% to 35% , effective August 1, 2025.

The Correlation Between U.S. Airline Stocks and Crude Oil Prices (2008–2025): A Long-Term Analysis How Oil Prices Impact Airline Performance The airline industry is known for its sensitivity to fluctuations in fuel prices. With jet fuel expenses comprising a significant portion of total operating costs—often as high as 30%—any movement in crude oil prices can directly affect an airline’s bottom line. Over the past two decades, the volatility in oil markets and the evolving airline business models have added layers of complexity to this relationship. This article provides a detailed, long-term correlation analysis between three of the largest U.S. airline stocks— Delta Air Lines (DAL) , Southwest Airlines (LUV) , and American Airlines (AAL) —and WTI crude oil (USOIL) prices, using weekly data from 2008 to 2025.
